We at Vital are all about fans opinions as our regulars will know, so it seems an ideal system for Vital to promote. fourfourtwo have also linked to Vital as they see us as a great voice for the fans, which is also why we are so heavily featured in their new biggest ever pre-season edition, in the shops now. Within the season preview supplement you will find the opinions of our editors for the fans view. You will also see Vital Football sites within the club pages of talentspotter, you didn't think we'd be missed out did you?!?

The system consists of a database of every professional footballer in Britain which gives FourFourTwo`s expert opinion on the player, allows fans to rate and comment on those players. These ratings form the Hotlists, the backbone of the site, which display up-to-the-minute information on the best and worst players as voted by fans. It is new so there are players to be added or removed from squad lists but it looks to us that it will be a favourite destination for many football fans!

• Rate players • Comment on players • Research players, getting up-to-date ratings from real fans and comments from the people who watch them play every week • See up-to-the-minute lists of the highest-ranked players by division, position, skills and overall • Scout for players by position, particular skills or a combination • View every team`s squad, fixtures, results and filter the players by different skills to see who`s best at, eg, heading or passing. • Collect points for rating and commenting.
